Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brazel family. Vivienne was a wonderful neighbor and friend for many years here in Britton Falls. We enjoyed spending time with Vivienne and Glenn on neighborhood bus trips. She will be missed.

Glenn,
We were saddened to learn the Lord has called Vivienne Home.
We will pray for you and your family at this difficult time.
Ruth Futrell says
Glenn – Even though I have never met you, I wanted you to know how honored I was to know Vivienne just a “little”. She and I were part of the same small group during a few Britton Falls Ladies Bible Studies. Five years ago this past November, Vivienne gave me a beautiful blanket she had knitted to give to my sister (whom she had never met) in Cincinnati whose breast cancer had metastasized to her brain. Unfortunately, Betty was never able to enjoy the blanket since I had to admit her to a hospice care facility the week after Thanksgiving that year. I passed the blanket on to a friend who was seriously ill and she enjoyed it until her death this past October. You and your family are in my prayers.

To Glenn and family,
With sadness I mourn the loss of a neighbor and friend. You were the first to offer welcoming friendship when I moved in as your next door neighbor three years ago. I will miss Vivienne. My condolences to all of you.

Glenn and Family, Vivienne has such a special place in my heart We met in women’s bible study at Britton Falls. She was always so kind and generous. I loved the scarf she knitted for me and how thoughtful she was in knitting for so many less fortunate. She will be truly missed by so many here at Britton Falls but I know she is dancing with the angels and will see her again some say. You are in my prayers for His comfort and peace.
